Weebry, I am a firefighter and propane tanks do explode...not every day, but if it happens to you it doesn't matter how often it has happened in the
past.
I have even seen them "launched" when the pop off valve ( pressure relief valve) was faulty. It pays to be careful.....
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....

My point was that the amount of $ spent and time wasted is way out of proportion to the insignificant threat. Kinda like the billions spent and HUGE
amount of time wasted protecting us from domestic terrorist attacks. Such attacks are statistically insignificant too but the insanity of "homeland
security" and the patriot act has us all cowering like whipped dogs in our own country. People are going to die, that's a fact, at what cost do we
expect "them" to protect us. It IS a b-tch when you or a loved one is chosen but someone has to win the lottery. I stand before you, guilty as
charged, for wasting your time and mine trying to make a pretty statistically insignificant point.

Going Down Memory Lane on Subject
I had a friend from college (not romantic), he served in Vietnam, and we met when returned and found that we had an equal love of sailing - he taught
me to sail Lido 14's and even had me crew for him in regattas in the Long Beach Marina.
He also liked to have me bring my dog over to his house for play dates with his dog while he was at work.
He had a job as an inspector of commercial tankers in San Pedro. On his day off, a tanker blew up, killing his co-worker and friend.
This tough, war-hardened Marine cried his heart out that day.

We have many pictures on our fire/boat house walls of this incident. Incredible damage. We are charged with inspecting ALL tankers/barges before they
offload or take on various fuels, solvents or chemicals.
Very well regulated. As it should be.
